[Mad Cyril]

A Chelsea supporting colleague reckons this protest which is assembling at Embankment at 12:30 might cause some delays tomorrow.

I'm passing it on because I would hate any shrimpers to miss one or more of our goals tomorrow.

Cheers.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Cheers for that fella.

For those of us that are rubbish with London transport, ie me, is this really likely to affect us going from Tower Hill to Fulham Broadway on the tube?

You pass through Embankment on route.

It shouldn't do, but it could depend on what time you are travelling. I intend to be secured to the bar in the Slug & Lettuce by midday.

not the street though!

 

[WickfordShrimper]

so travelling from Liverpool Street will not be affected by the above ?

I have some sympathy for the protesters here. I genuinely believe that, while his brief foray into management was unsuccessful, the fella has had some pretty rough press. He was never the same player after 'that' tackle and people should lay off him a little.

Yeah I know that, but what I mean is that is it really going to affect trains going through it?

We'll probably be getting on at Tower Hill sometime just after 1pm.

From my experience, a butterfly beating its wings in the Amazonion rain forest can affect the tube, so don't be surprised if something closer to home does too.

May have gently meandered over some heads on here but i chuckled at it !

From the same site:

"Following Saturday’s national demonstration, there will be a mass protest outside the Israeli Embassy from 4.00 – 6.00 pm.
Please join if you are attending the national demonstration.
Saturday 3 January 4 - 6pm
Kensington High Street
(Nearest tube High Street Kensington)"

Quite. My inclination would be to avoid Embankment or High Street Kensington any time after midday.

Unless you wish to protest about Gaza that is.

 

[TrueBlue]

we should get the game delayed then go to the protest round them all up and deport the sodding lot of them

 

[NZamba Legend]

If any nasty lager lout white Essex trash football supporters stop me getting to this demonstration and enjoying my homemade falafel lunch I will not be happy.

 

[seany t]

I suspect there'll be a massacre of sorts a few tube stops up the way too...

Ha, sad thing is I actually read this as Gazza for a second and had to do a double take.

Don't worry you are not the only one.
This morning when I saw Gazza on the front page of the Echo I thought he had finally died!!
Wonder what the odds are of Gazza seeing out 2009. Not good I think.

During Paul Gascoigne's spell at Middlesbrough, a Palestinian visitor to Teesside collapsed with a heart attack in Middlesbrough Town Centre. He was taken to the local hospital but died. The medical staff were able to identify and contact his family from some details he had on him.
When his family came over and were ushered in to see the deceased they were horrified to see him laid out in the morgue wearing a Boro top, shirt, socks and footy boots.
When they demanded to know the meaning of this outrage, the doctors advised them that instructions found on his person indicated he wished to be buried in the Gazza strip.

Coat on, out of here and on my way to Stamford Bridge!
